During the process of preparing for a patient's visit, what is an essential action that must be taken to ensure the provider has access to relevant information?
Verifying the availability of the healthcare provider for the day
Obtaining a copy of the patient's outside medical record and/or pertinent test results
Creating a new patient file
Rearranging medical office supplies prior to the patient’s arrival
Obtaining a copy of the patient's outside medical records or pertinent test results is crucial to provide the healthcare provider with comprehensive information about the patient's health history. This understanding leads to better-informed decisions about patient care during the visit. Whereas rearranging the medical office supplies is a general maintenance task, not specific to individual patient preparation, and does not directly contribute to pre-visit planning. Verifying provider availability is not directly related to organizing a patient's medical record. Creating a new patient file is only relevant when the patient is new to the practice and does not encompass the action of preparing existing records for use.
